Bug#1074249: artha: Artha description is incomplete. It’s a dictionary, not just a thesaurus.

[Manny]

Package: artha
Version: 1.0.5-3
Severity: minor
X-Debbugs-Cc: debbug.artha at sideload.33mail.com

There is frustration in finding an English dictionary by searching the
apt DB because there are lots of simple world lists and translation
libraries which do not provide word definitions. This is worsened by
the fact that Artha is not even described as a dictionary. IIUC, a
dictionary is in fact the primary purpose of Artha.

I have no idea why the author just describes it as a thesaurus, but in
this case the Debian package should probably not just be a copy of the
upstream description. This was reported upstream 12 years ago:
